Because of a properly configured, boot disk. Just boots once per power cycle.

Meanwhile something like the pi, on most images, is writing logs to the storage CONSTANTLY. Not to mention is regularly booted.

This was constantly writing to the SD card. It was the only storage on the device.

Rebooting it was a big deal though, so that rarely happened.
